Review on LM2596S DC-DC Buck Converter Module with Digital Voltmeter Display - 4-Piece Set for Reducing Voltage and Stabilizing Power from 36V 24V 12V to 5V 2A by Jay Lee

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Defective and inaccurate specifications claimed

These must be defective units peddling. They work fine for about an hour, and then the output goes to 0 even with a light load. The specs say they're good for input voltages up to 40V, but they have a filter capacitor on the input that's only good for 35V The project needed to drop 24V down to 12V so I threw them away and used a TO220 regulator at 1.5 amps and it works like a charm.

Pros
  • Excellent price
